  • Comments: This was a great first marathon, thanks to everyone in the MG for your support! If I do another one I'd love to know how to conquer that last 10k!

  • Comments: Great race, a bit more quiet than the big Chicago Marathon, people are more focused, less fun/crazy activities, but fantastic venue and very well run event.

  • Comments: This event has it all - the option of 5, 10, 21.1 & 42.2km. The weather's warm, the course is flat and scenic and there's entertainment, crowd support and enough water stations. There's a heap of internationals, interstaters and locals competing, I loved the atmosphere and the friendliness of everyone. It's very tempting to make a marathon come back for this!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I'm not sure why I ran a crap time (goal was 3:40 something). I felt good heading in, had trained hard and ran the k's and had no injuries. I'm starting to think I made a bad choice for dinner the night before and drank too much water towards the end of the race.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: The marathon is indeed a challenging race. In my training the furthest I ever ran was 30k's and it was always going to be interesting to see how I would go with the extra 12k's. My mate send me a text after he had finished saying that I was a "Legend" and that I had helped him get though the race. I don't know if it was the endorphins finally kicking in but reading his text made me feel happier then when I had crossed the line.

  • Comments: A fantastic race that is well organised and has lots of volunteers. Even got a free (and very cool!) competitor T-shirt which isn't always the case were some other races. Great course to set a PB!
